JERUSALEM —

A plague of locusts considered “extremely alarming” is headed toward Africa and the Middle East but is likely to bypass Israel.

...The swarms represent “an unprecedented threat to food security,” according to the Locust Watch website.

Among the countries expected to be the hardest hit are Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Iran, Pakistan and Sudan, according to the report.

I wonder if there’s a reason plagues like locusts or disastrous floods and fires seem to happen with increasing frequency today. It’s biblical, but the nonbelievers will say “global warming”

I don’t know, but with Iran already under sanctions, this will cause serious problems.

For anyone who paid any attention this shouldn’t come as a surprise as weather patterns world wide been having a crazy streak. While there may have been a warm up in the Antarctic, camels in Saudi Arabia have been stomping around in snow. All this along with an increase in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, flooding, droughts and unusual amounts of snow is just an “Appetizer” of what lies ahead as we are once again at the beginning of the repetitive 3600 year signature cycle.

It is the same cycle which gave us the TEN PLAGUEs in ancient Egypt and eventually led to the EXODUS of the Jews. The catch is and was that these unusual events were not just limited to ancient Egypt as ancient Chinese records point to similar events there as well. In other words crazy and unexpected things were taking place world wide at that time, just as they do now. The problem is that we are just at the beginning of this cycle and the worst is yet to come. By no means do I take delight in seeing it come and wish with all my heart to be dead wrong, but what already is taking place speaks for itself.

Needless to say official sources will never admit what really is taking place for obvious reasons, and most people still think this to be a joke, until it will strike home and so far the US has been fairly lucky, in comparison what has been taking place in other parts of the world. And for the ones blaming all those crazy weather patterns on humans and what they may have done wrong in regards to pollution etc., it may be interesting to hear their explanation how this reflects on the increase in earthquakes as well as volcanic eruptions?

And by he way if we go back from the year 2020 plus 1500 BC (3520) the time of the 10 PLAGUES we are just shy of 80 years of the full 3600 cycle. Needless to say a few years one way or another may be lost in the translation, but overall we are pretty close on target for his event, something what most likely will cause a lot of damage and problems.

Well, there was the great locust plague of 1875.

I don't remember for sure but I think it was stopped naturally in some places by wild turkeys. That was in the US great plains.

In the middle east, I believe, these locust are poisonous to the predators that could eat them, so I don't know if there is a good nature stop. (Because of their colors which indicate to predators their poisonous nature.

Had to look, thought it was a joke. Plagues, locusts, I think we are just missing a very bad weather disaster or earthquake.

The thing about the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse....they ride together.

Famine,pestilence,economic chaos, then war. But not necessarily one after the other. They ride together.

The 10 plagues of Egypt did not affect Goshen where the Hebrews lived, especially the 3 days of darkness. Only the plague of the death of the first born rached everywhere that didn’t have lamb’s blood painted on the door. I think you have to separate out the 10 plagues from the rest of your 3600 hundred year hypothesis. Those plaguse as you read about them in the Bible have supernatural emphasis and can’t be used to support your 3600 year cycle notions. They might have been part of the story but if the whole of Egypt was blacked out because meteor swarms or eruptions but there was light in Goshen according to Exodus then it tells you that as far as the Bible was concerned, the specific plagues on Egypt were God directed, not Nibiru or other astronomical cyclical event derived.

They are not poisonous, per se though some of the herbs some locusts might have gotten into could make predators sick.

The Mormons speak of locusts threatening their crops in Utah during one season in the 1800’s but a great flock of Gulls from the Salt Lake came and made short work of them....the story appears to be true from differing accounts from the time.

“I think we are just missing a very bad weather disaster or earthquake.”

Worry about it when the Hudson River turns blood red (if you can see it past the trash).

Africa is the historical home of GENIUS according to Black Historians and Academics. Just check out there Space Program, Pharmaceutical And Aerospace Industry.

A locust invasion will be NO problem.

These are the countries that will invade Israel plus Russia. It is just
wonderful to read the Bible and see world events unfold. A Little scary on the surface for those left behind, this is but the beginning.

I’m reading Arnold Fruchenbaums book “ The Footsteps of the Messiah”.
It is a study of end times, using the whole Bible not just Revelation..
